Why Is My CSS Background Image Not Loading?

CSS Background Image Refuses to Load

Problem:

Despite following tutorial instructions, a blank white background appears on the page instead of the specified image. The tutorials advised using body {background: url('image.jpeg');} instead of the deprecated . The provided CSS code includes:

body 
{
background-image: url('nickcage.jpg');
...
}

Solution:

To rectify this issue, remove single quotes around the image filename in the CSS code:

background-image: url(nickcage.jpg); // No quotes

Additional Considerations:

• The HTML, CSS, and image files must reside in the same directory.

• If the CSS or image files are in subdirectories, ensure correct pathing:

  • background-image: url(../images/nickcage.jpg); // CSS and image in subdirectories
  • background-image: url(images/nickcage.jpg); // CSS and image in different subdirectories
